Korean Love

I remember when I saw this video.  It was so weird to see someone else in my shoes! Hey I know that lady, she has placed that same baby carrier on me. This time she was placing it on my friend Jen's back. Mine was a bright grass green, Jen's was a much more tolerable khaki, but the moment was the same. Life changing at that. 

I must say what I love the most about my blog is taking these friendships live! Jen and her brood came to stay at our house last night. She has 4 kids plus our three and then the Darley 3 maxed out our house with 10 monkey's under 10! But the best of all was the love in the making! 

Oh I can not get enough of her.

I just love this here blog! There are many times I want to call it quits with this blog. You know how it goes... there is one reader who is a hater in the bunch of hundreds and it makes me want to give up. BUT when I realized the reality of all those I have met on here who I now dearly love them I am so encouraged! H

I love you and your blog, Whittaker Woman. And can't wait to see your sparkly little face tomorrow. Don't have high expectations for mine- not planning on brushing my hair tomorrow ;)

[pendy]

What precious pictures! I think you and I have the same motto...the more the merrier.

[emily]

Was thinking about that very thing last night- how precious the relationships are that I have made from the amazing blogging community--- you are certainly in that category!

[Katie Burns]

Hi Heather,
I found your blog through a friend's blog. Well, actually, she linked to a ragamuffin soul post and I wandered over here from there. I've been encouraged by reading your post (and some of the links you've posted) ever since. Please keep up what you're doing. You don't even realize how many lives you're touching in a very positive way. :)

[Heather Turner]

please keep blogging! I love reading about your life! It's like a little peek into you and your family! Keep it up!

I agree, I loved following you guys through your adoption!

[Janie]

A thousand times a thousand, sorry.

[Anon]

Give it up Janie.

[Michelle]

How sweet are they! I'm sure someone with a southern accent would sound much nicer saying that so pretend I used my southern accent.
This here blog will keep these memories available for future reference, like maybe after your next "He's Three" post.

[Homemomma]

Keep up the good work.....

[annie]

Oh, those two are so adorable together!!!

[Ruth]

I love both your blogs reading and seeing your adoption experiences. How fun to see your photos of your beautiful children together. :)

[megan]

oh my - that is adorable! i love reading your blog - keep it up! :)

[Rachel]

Yeah - there are so many silent watchers (I should say "readers") who are touched by what you do here. Thanks for keeping it up!

[Karolien]

don't give up! I love your writing, you are so honest and funny!

[Ladybug Crossing]

Who hates you? Silly people - they don't know a good thing when it hits them in the head!
Keep it up - I read every single post.

Look at them kissing! It's LOVE!!

[Karen]

i love your blog. how could anyone hate on you?

[Lana ©]

No giving up allowed! :)
You make me laugh on very non-funny days. I need that!

[JV]

Ok those pictures of Losiah & Jen's baby are precious!!!

[Heather Kay]

I wish that I had your ability to have a house full of kids and not be Stark Raving Mad, but unfortunately that is who I am. I think you are amazing! Thanks for sharing with us.

[Tricia Kaye]

I really enjoy reading your blog. I like knowing about other wives that have husbands in the ministry. It isn't always easy being in a fish bowl and it is nice to know that I am not the only one trying to keep her family normal..

Keep up the good work!

P.S. My husband took his staff to the drive conference this week and he got to meet your husband. What a small world!!!

[Deb]

What if you had a hundred 'haters' making comments and only had one whose life you impacted for eternity with Him? You'd do it for that one and we all know it. That is why people do love your blog and why you will persevere. Blessings!

[Jenn]

Awwww! Losiah and Molly are so cute together! You know I love your blog and honesty. Don't give it up; your posts are too fun to read and inspire me and so many others!

[Randi]

First off, I have to say the pictures of Losiah and Molly are precious! I also have to tell you Heather that your blog is one of the very few I read faithfully. I love your honesty, your humor, your love and your compassion. You keep things so real and fresh in a world that seems so fake but, yet you help people to realize how rich we can creat it to be. I love that you are a picture takin' Momma - as am I and I love photography. I will admit to you - I am a blog quitter. And, I regret it. It was such a good outlet and a way to inspire. But, to pick it up again seems sad when all of the years of posting history are gone. Please keep going girl!! You are an inspiration in more ways than you could ever know. :)

[Kelly]

That little girl is SUPER cute. She is like the Korean version of my little Peyton

[MommaWheel]

Girl shake the haters off and complete your family however you want!

*talk to the hand* :)

What cutie pies :)

Oh, I'll be in the ATL 4th of July...wanna play? :)

[Lita]

I love seeing people's videos / photos of the first time thier child was placed in thier arms....It takes me back. It was inspiring when we were waiting for our son and now it brings back to all the wonderful memories of the day he was OURS.

[jen]

So, its unanimous...our kids are super cute together. I mean Losiah did confess his love at the Asian Market so it can't really get much better than that! Great pics : ) thanks for capturing the first kiss. Thanks for letting us crash there H! You are incredibly hospitable with all that you guys have going on...we loved spending time with your family and your basement family. Bummed we didn't get to meet Carlos but Kris said hi to him at DRIVE. Have a great trip this weekend. I appriciate your willingness to take your blog friendships live, I feel spoiled. So, look me up anytime in TN.

[Shannon Stewart]

Jen told me that she told you about me. I must confess that I am sort of a "stalker" of your blog. I LOVE Molly and my Carlee Hayse is one of her best friends. We are looking forward to adding 2 more (I am pregnant with twin girls!!!) to our family in September. Please don't EVER stop blogging. I LOVE to read your blog. It gives me hope to having all these babies at home with me. If you ever make it to TN and hang with Jen and her crew, I would LOVE to meet you in person. I honestly think we will be fast friends!!!!

[Rhi J]

i love her too! don't you quit your blog. it's how i get to see your shining, lovely faces! let the haters hate. can't stop them, only can pray for them. how would we get stronger w/o them? love you girl! keep on keepin' on!

[Amanda]

Oh my goodness... they are SO cute. I get the amazing job of being Auntie to Molly and the boys. I know Jen was really excited to hang out with you and your cute family. ~Amanda

Hi, Heather, I know what you mean. I call those people vampires. They just try to suck the life right out of us. I just recently found out I have a vampire on my blog. I hate it! I dont care to have the negative energy. I too thought about no longer blogging. Then, I ran across your blog entry. Hmmm! Kind of ironic. You inspired me to create my blog and to really get into our family nights. I thank you for that. Lets support one another and radiate positive energy from one mommy to another mommy. Thank you for sharing your family with us. God bless!
